[quote="rosalindnie" Flat-wound strings pretty much have one use… making an electric Bass sound like an upright Bass.

Almost - flatwound strings mean you can slide your hands all over the place without getting that squeaky string sound; the price you pay is a loss of sound quality.

Some people go out of their way for that thumpy, mostly-fundamental, notta-lotta-treble tone.

Rosalind-nie.

Spamming just like Season-nie up above in this thread.

Or, they are the famous knights who say 'nie.' And spam.
